FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A paladin, an assassin, a forger, and a scholar ride out of town. Its not the start of a joke, but rather an espionage mission with deadly serious stakes. T. Kingfishers new novel begins the tale of a murderous band of criminals (and a scholar), thrown together in an attempt to unravel the secret of the Clockwork Boys, mechanical soldiers from a neighboring kingdom that promise ruin to the Dowagers city.If they succeed, rewards and pardons await, but that requires a long journey through enemy territory, directly into the capital. It also requires them to refrain from killing each other along the way! At turns darkly comic and touching, Clockwork Boys puts together a broken group of people trying to make the most of the rest of their lives as they drive forward on their suicide mission. Author Biography T. Kingfisher is the vaguely absurd pen-name of Ursula Vernon, an author from North Carolina. In another life, she writes childrens books and weird comics. She has been nominated for the World Fantasy and the Eisner, and has won the Hugo, Sequoyah, Nebula, Alfie, WSFA, Coyotl and Ursa Major awards, as well as a half-dozen Junior Library Guild selections. This is the name she uses when writing things for grown-ups. Her work includes multiple fairy-tale retellings and odd little stories about elves and goblins. When she is not writing, she is probably out in the garden, trying to make eye contact with butterflies. Review "Hands down, probably the best piece of traditionally western epic fantasy Ive read ever." -- Cassandra Khaw author of Hammers on Bone "As stories give us maps to unknown possibility, Clockwork Boys shows us how to do that nearly-impossible thing--how to go on after we have screwed absolutely everything up. A must-read for anyone trying to be a decent human being and/or competent adult!" -- Sigrid Ellis "I cried so hard my service dog started bringing me his toys to cheer me up." -- Andrea Chandler Details ISBN1614504067 Author T.
